    Here is the git info. https://github.com/Grimzentide/iRacing-Arduino-Pit-Board.git
    Here is the tft screen I used. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-8-Inch-TF...872449?hash=item1a076f1e41:g:AxUAAOSwl9BWGP75

    From start to finish i put in about two hours (not including the 5+ hour print time)

    The ard was from microcenter 5.99
    The screen was 11.70 (us supplier they are 6bucks from china if you don't mind waiting)
    I printed the case it took roughly 2.00 worth of filament

    i guess maybe some but for what it is it shouldnt matter. I can try to make a video later. you could check the code and adjust the frequency of the updates. it gives me black box info saving me some math. it only serves me in a race which is long enough that i have to pit. iracing nascar series is coming up in February. the races are 1/2 or full length which means I'll have to pit. this will help me manage fuel. a lighter car can be an advantage near the end of a race. I really only play Iracing and as far as i know this only works for Iracing. you may also be interested in @eaorobbie tm1638/gamedash project http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/tm1638-multiply-page-display-with-gamedash.5003/
    although i have put together a 7segment and used Gamedash with dirtrally Gamedash does not support Iracing as of yet.
